Jack’s lips curled up, looking at the awkward Martin “No rush. Sit down.” He rang the bell to summon Harrison and ordered “Serve some tea and nibbles.”

“Why are we …” Martin grumbled as he rubbed his hands impatiently; he was a man of action, he fidgeted as he ran all that he had gathered from conversations through his mind.

“I am waiting for someone.” Jack answered Martin patiently; he knew Martin best and was not offended in the least. The others didn’t even take the interlude between brothers

  • Second chance at happiness   Heavens have been merciful…

    Both Cornelius and Baldwin pressed their trembling lips into thin lines, struggling to maintain composure.For once, words failed the duo who were usually far too eloquent for silence.However, the moment didn’t last. Piscina wasn’t exactly soundproof, and the loud noises had already alerted the mob upstairs.They rushed downstairs, spilling into the emotionally charged yet oddly warm scene.The room froze.At the ladies’ side, Katherine had still not woken. Despite the chaos, none of them moved from her bedside.Maddie slowly stood after a few minutes, not out of curiosity, but from a quiet ache of embarrassment and heartbreak. The man she loved was bawling worse than a toddler.“Go…” Ursula whispered, gently nudging her forward.That was all the encouragement she needed.Maddie crossed to the other side of the partition, then stopped. The sight was too warm, achingly so, as if it would be etched into memory forever. She knew how close the brothers were but witnessing it like this… w

  • Second chance at happiness   I had never truly lost anything before…

    Earlier, she had only half-listened to the healer’s explanation. Honey preserving wounds and preventing decay was one thing, but drawing toxins out entirely was another matter altogether.Yet now, standing before it with her own eyes---The golden honey continued darkening slowly, green spreading across Alex’s skin like ink through water.Seeing was believing.Zelda observed silently for nearly a full minute before finally speaking.“Call me once the entire body changes colour.”Without another word, she immediately strode toward Katherine’s side. Esmeralda followed behind her.The same thing was happening there.Green slowly spread beneath the layer of honey coating Katherine’s skin.Zelda carefully examined her before giving identical instructions and heading upstairs where everyone else had gathered.“Did you manage to get Heather Honey?”Though the question wasn’t directed at anyone specifically, her gaze locked firmly onto Elias.“My scouts haven’t returned yet.”“Didn’t my men a

  • Second chance at happiness   They are an old married couple… what are you blushing for?

    Jerome turned toward Maddie.“Help me carry sister-in-law to the other inner room.”He lifted Alex effortlessly while Maddie carried Katherine into the room opposite Jack’s. Beth, Ursula, and Agnes followed closely behind.Maddie had just laid Katherine onto the bed when she turned and found Jerome walking in after her.“What the hell are you doing here?” she asked, equal parts amused and exasperated.“What? I----”“They need honey applied over their entire body.” Maddie repeated the healer’s instructions slowly after seeing the utterly clueless look on his face.“I know…” Jerome nodded in his usual carefree manner, “They are an old married couple… what are you blushing for?”“They are…. but you are not…” Maddie tapped the back of his head gently. After a beat, she added flatly, clearly enjoying her husband’s embarrassment, “I have to remove sister-in-law’s clothes to apply medicine.”Realization dawned instantly.Jerome turned red from ear to neck. He opened his mouth, clearly strugg

  • Second chance at happiness    The price… she was willing to pay it.

    Outside the room, Zelda felt her chest tighten. She knew the process had begun.Cornelius and Baldwin paced through the hall like headless chooks, forgetting their station and years of upbringing.Linus and Judith leaned against the wall, faces pale and lips trembling. Edgar and Maryanne stood beside them in silent support. Inwardly, they too begged the heavens for mercy.The Zumerong cousins stood shoulder to shoulder like true blood brothers, their eyes fixed on the closed door. Only Humphrey joined Cornelius in pacing, the endless wait clearly wearing on him.Suddenly, Zelda staggered.Blood spilled from her lips the instant the frozen glass inside the room melted completely.Esmeralda rushed to her side. “Mistress…”Jerome was already there, steadying her before she could fall.The others turned toward her at once, worry etched across every face.“I am fine,” Zelda said weakly, lifting a hand.She knew the cost.Of all elements to bend, time was the most unforgiving, the one that

  • Second chance at happiness   To remain standing....

    Eldora circled the two boxes quietly, observing the figures within. They looked as though they were merely asleep, not people frozen in time.She paused, first before Alex, her hand rested against the frozen glass for a brief moment before slowly passing through the surface without leaving behind even the faintest crack. She quietly checked his vitals before withdrawing.She repeated the process with Katherine.Jack and Mira stood motionless, scarcely daring to breathe for fear of disturbing her concentration.She stepped back and waved her hand.The basin that had previously rested in the corner now sat perfectly between the two boxes.She turned to Mira, “you need to fill this with the water from the hot spring.”Mira nodded and was about to enter space when Jack hugged and kissed her, “Let me help.”Mira smiled and nodded.Jack filled the buckets and handed them to Mira, while she poured them into the basin, standing in space. Once the basin was filled to the brim, just as they were

  • Second chance at happiness   Wait till I get my hands on those bastards.

    “What’s in that?” Martin, who had been silent all this while, ran over to the cart behind the carriage the moment he saw Jack, like a monkey suddenly jolted awake, the moment he saw Jack.Anne-marie was no different, clinging to Mira who herself was clinging to Ursula; the two siblings looked like they had found new life.“That’s a basin for father and mother’s treatment.” Jack answered seriously.“Wow… then you really got the healer to come?” Martin’s excitement knew no bounds. “Uncle and aunt can be saved… thank the heavens.”“Where should I take this?”“When is the healer coming?” Jerome stepped forward.“Venerable one…” Mira called out. This was the norm in the land for esteemed healers, and they had agreed to this address earlier.The footman ran over, signalled by Harrison but even before he could get close to the carriage, Eldora lifted the curtain by herself and stepped out.The moment her feet touched the ground, the world seemed to exhale.The wind died.Trees that had been s

  • Second chance at happiness   The young Lord’s face is his identification token

    Jack, Mira, Martin and Thomas didn’t head to Southamberston as they had previously planned but instead, headed straight for the palace. However, halfway through, Martin met with Lyra, the eldest daughter of Cain, the first master Soren who was heading in the direction towards Southamberston looking

  • Second chance at happiness   What matters is … I remember ...

    Although Wilkin rushed into the room, he stood like he was shot with a bolt of lightning; He opened and closed his mouth, even though he wasn’t able utter a single word. Jerome lazily lifted his eyes as he sensed the movement outside the door, but his gaze froze momentarily as he saw the person who

  • Second chance at happiness   Hell is about to break loose…Are you ready to meet your maker?

    The shadow guard who had previously left arrived with Dame Killion just as they finished speaking. “Your highness.” Jane knelt with her right hand fisted to her chest, as was the customary greeting for knights and soldiers during missions; currently she wasn’t appearing before Orseus as the Duchess

  • Second chance at happiness   With or without his memories…. a tiger can never shed its stripes

    Cornelius and all the men who came along with him started on their way back just after daybreak. They didn’t forget to make noise and let everyone in their surrounding area know of their disappointment and helplessness as they had to return back to their homes. The trip back was without any events;
